I am
poured out
like water,
and
all my bones
are out of
joint;
my heart
is like wax,
it is melted
within
my breast.
[Psalm 22:14]
*******************
"How do
I know,
You're
taking care
of ME,
LORD?"
(Look up.)
"...When....
I look at the PICTURES..
in..HAITI?"

[LONG PAUSE.]
[QUIET VOICE.]
"Where is
the butterfly,
My child?"

(Squint.)
(Shrug.)
(Frown.)
"I DUNNO.."

[TENDER VOICE.]
"Right here,
child:
in the
Palm of
My Right Hand."

(Frown.)
(Shrug.)
"Yeah.....
SO?"

[QUIET VOICE.]
"And,
tell Me,
child;
where is
the bruised
butterfly?"

(Frown.)
(Shrug.)
(Look down at the floor.)

[GENTLE WHISPER.]
"Covered,
child:
with
My Left."
***********************
The Lord
is my
shepherd,
I shall not
want;
He makes me
lie down
in green
pastures,
He leads me
beside still
waters;
He restores
my soul.
[Psalm 23:1-3]
[A Psalm of David.]
